Larmer Tree Festival Announces Headliners

The red dread head Newton Faulkner is among the headliners at Larmer Tree

Established in 1990, and set in the beautiful Larmer Tree Gardens on the Wiltshire/Dorset border, the Larmer Tree Festival has given audiences a diverse range of world-class music from across the globe. This year is no exception, with reggae legends Toots and the Maytals, renowned blues guitarist Robert Cray, Newton Faulkner,and British music institution Jools Holland, who will be joined by very special guest Alison Moyet, all now confirmed as the first headliners at the five day festival.

Also taking to the stage will be rising nu-folk star Ian King, who recently performed at HMV’s Next Big Thing Festival. Joining him on the bill is quirky songstress Ruth Theodore, presenting her latest album White Holes of Mole Hill, which received rave reviews. Continuing Larmer Tree Festival’s ethos of originality and innovation, piano-driven polka influenced four-piece Tankus the Henge has also been added to the line-up. One of the most exciting, young folk hybrid acts Walsh & Pound will also be making their Larmer Tree debut. Comprised of Dan Walsh and Will Pound, they have been labelled respectively as ‘one of the most original harmonica players in Britain’ and ‘the UK’s top claw hammer banjoist’.
